PALMBEACHSCHOOLS.ORG/DRE/  \nMEMORANDUM  \nJanuary 10, 2018  \nTO: School Board Members  \nFROM: Mark Howard, Chief, Performance Accountability  \nDavid W. Christiansen, Ed. D., Deputy Superintendent/Chief of Schools  \nSUBJECT: FY17 FEDERAL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES  \nOn January 10, 2018, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) released graduation rates for the State of Florida and the School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) . The Federal High School Graduation Rate includes standard diplomas but excludes special diplomas and GEDs (General Education Diplomas) . 1  \nThe SDPBC has identified Graduation as a Long Term Outcome as part of the five-year Strategic Plan. In 2016, the Board established a goal of a 90% graduation rate for District operated students by the year 2021. For additional information on the District Strategic Plan, visit: [https://www.palmbeachschools.org/strategicplan/](https://www.palmbeachschools.org/strategicplan/)  \nSummary of Results  \nIn FY17, SDPBC outperformed Florida and six other large urban school districts for the fourth consecutive year (FY14-FY17), and has consistently increased the graduation rate, including from FY16 to FY17 . More importantly, the disparity between White students and their Black and Hispanic peers was reduced as Black and Hispanic students demonstrated greater increases with Black students increasing 10 points over the last two years and Hispanic students increasing 6.6 points over the last two years.  \nFrom FY16 to FY17, the SDPBC  \n• Increased the overall District graduation rate (includes both District operated2 and charter school students) from 82.3% to 85.0%  \n• Increased graduation rates for District operated school students (88.3% to 90.0%) , while Charter operated school students3 increased from (39.4% to 49.6%)  \n• Increased the graduation rate for Black students by 5.4 percentage points (73.7% to 79.1%), for Hispanic students by 3.4%(79.5% to 82 .9%)  \n• 19 District operated schools reported graduation rates equal to or exceeding 90%  \n• Among District operated High Schools, Riviera Beach Preparatory Academy had the largest increase (14 .7), followed by Pahokee Middle-Senior and Glades Central High schools (9 .8 and 9.1 respectively) . In addition, Lake Worth, Palm Beach Gardens and John I. Leonard each increased more than 5 points.  \n1 Detailed information about the Federal High School Graduation Rate is provided in Appendix A.  \n2 Includes students who also attended Alternative and DJJ school sites.  \n3 Both District operated school and charter school students are required to meet the Florida Standard Diploma requirements.  \nFrom FY13 to FY17, the SDPBC  \n• Increased the District graduation rate by 8.7 percentage points (from 76.3% to 85%), which includes both District operated and charter school students  \n• Increased the graduation rate for Black students by 15.3%, for Hispanic students by 7.9%, and for White students by 5.4% .  \nTable 1 reports the graduation rates for the past five years (FY13– FY17) for Florida, the SDPBC, and the other large urban school districts. Tables 2 – 4 show the graduation rates for the past five years (FY13 – FY17) for Black, Hispanic, and White students. Table 5 reports the graduation rates for the past five years (FY13– FY17) for SDPBC District operated and charter schools. Tables 6, 7 and 8 report graduation rates for District operated high schools, charter high schools, and alternative high schools, respectively, for five years (FY13 – FY17) .  \nIt should be noted that the FDOE is currently conducting a study to increase the concordant (SAT, ACT) score for students who did not pass the required Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) on their first attempt. This could significantly impact students currently enrolled and on track for graduation but needing to meet the assessment requirement.  \nIf you have questions about graduation rates, please contact Mark Howard, Chief of Performance Accountability, at 434-8850.
